- 1/2 cup ranch dressing

- Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to control the spiciness of the dip.
- For a thicker dip, reduce the ranch dressing slightly or add more cream cheese.
- This dip can be kept warm on the slow cooker ‘warm’ setting until ready to serve.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
